Woolly: <Uh-huh! I had to roll around on the floor to put myself out! Otherwise I would have been roasted! And worst of all, it nearly ruined my scarf!>

-Woolly runs her hand along her scarf, which is thankfully undamaged.-

Woolly: <I'm glad it didn't get burnt though!>

Yeah. It would have been a shame to have it ruing just after I got it for you. That reminds me! I need to get something for you Stratus!

Stratus: <...>

...Stratus?

-Stratus is looking very miserable all of a sudden.-

Hey...What's wrong?

-The Dragonite looks at me.-

Stratus: <I lost...>

Flare: <So? we all lose every now and then. It's nothing to beat yourself up about.>

-Stratus shakes his head.-

Stratus: <No, you don't understand. The whole point of me joining you guys was 'cause I wanted to enter this tournament and prove that I'm not useless. But...I lost my first battle...How am I supposed to show everyone I'm not useless if I lost in the first battle?>

Lake: <Hey, come on...>

-Lake places an arm on Stratus shoulder.-

Lake: <We've only been in one battle so far. They'll be others, and I'm sure you'll win in at least one of them.>

Yeah, we've only just started. You've got plenty of time to prove yourself. But I have to ask...Who's been saying that you're useless?
